Jackson has been an extraordinary pro. On and off the field. He has become my favorite Buc. So glad he’s representing our team!

McCoy is better than Suh. Plus Suhs stupidity and lack of control has hurt his team.

We got this.

Now, if we could just find a TE and Slot Wr!

VJax (and many other recent purchases from the Publix of the NFL) have been savvy from Dom IMO. Nicks is a pro, VJax is a pro, Goldson is a pro, Revis is a pro. The Bucs’ aren’t just filling positions, they are creating a locker room. They (again IMO) haven’t done that since Dungy. I, like most of you, am VERY excited about the upcoming season.

Wed, 10 Jul 2013 08:51:54 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=91147#comment-3284146Dez Bryant is a talented receiver, as was Aaron Hernan”dez”. Bryant has already veered off the right path on occasion. If he continues to teeter, he just might end up shooting himself in the leg er foot like another receiver.

Wed, 10 Jul 2013 03:05:34 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=91147#comment-3284140ProFootballFocus ranked Jackson as the 3rd best receiver of 2012 behind Calvin and Andre Johnson. McCoy as a top 20 player leaguewide, far ahead of Suh. They are the only players that watch every snap of every player of every team before coming out with rankings. I place more value to PFF’s rankings than any of these PFT/SI analysts who also factor popularity into their voting.

IMO

The only thing we “need” to do is win, whether it’s by a large margin or by one the result is the same.

I hear what your saying, I just don’t necessarily agree.

Sure that would be nice and your logic isn’t off but IMO it’s not necessary.

Tue, 09 Jul 2013 20:14:43 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=91147#comment-3284096The Jets game needs be a win by a substantial margin to show that not only are we better than lesser teams but that we don’t hold back. The Saint’s game will be a statement game as well. If we beat them then that shows we are no push overs and teams will start to circle the day they play the Bucs on their calendars. It is quite crucial to come out of the gates hot. I think we really need to come out of the first four games at 3-1. Anything less than that will start to affect morale.

Tue, 09 Jul 2013 18:45:55 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=91147#comment-3284076Really WestCoast, because I see the Saints game the 2nd week as the statement game. Oh well to each his own.

Tue, 09 Jul 2013 18:24:33 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=91147#comment-3284070If I’m putting together a fantasy team: sure, I take Dez.

Jackson’s placement suffered because of a new offense? You do know that last year, Jackson had the best year of his entire career with the Bucs? He had more receptions, yards, and yards per catch than any other year, and I believe he matched or came close to his top TD total.”

VJax offers way more than Dez.
Not only in terms of experience but also in leadership. He is imparting that experience into our young team through his great leadership skills.

As we all know upside or potential is great yes but it doesn’t mean that potential is going to be met. Dez still has a ways to go.

Tue, 09 Jul 2013 16:34:50 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=91147#comment-3284048I know what you mean Couch Fan. It was never more evident than it was in 2010. We would go toe to toe with a team like the Ravens and take it down to the wire and then have the exact same game against a team like the Browns. Always playing to the level of our competition.

On the other hand, I would put the Jets in 2013 at the level of the Chiefs of 2012. We absolutely blew the Chiefs out 38–10 last season. Don’t forget about the playoff-bound Vikings either who we blew out 36–17. It’s not out of the realm of possibility . . .

Tue, 09 Jul 2013 16:28:16 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=91147#comment-3284046I dont expect any blow outs, as a long time Bucs fan, I’ve realized we are just about always going to play to the level of our competition. I expect a close game, but you are right in that a loss would be devastating. Theres no reason we should lose to that team.

Tue, 09 Jul 2013 16:24:19 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=91147#comment-3284045The only thing it is too early for, Buc1987, is predicting the Jets score fourteen points. A bit generous if you ask me. I look at that Jets game as being our “statement game”. There is no reason for us not to mop the floor with them. They have a lame duck coach, “two starting quarterbacks”, and a Revis-less defense. We absolutely MUST demolish them to start the season off right. A close win or, worse, a loss will be devastating to morale. No way we are as good playing the Saints week two coming off a loss. Same goes for the Patriots in week three. We NEED this Jets game.

Tue, 09 Jul 2013 16:11:30 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=91147#comment-3284043I know one thing a fully healthy Bucs team against the Jets in week 1 is going to lay the smackdown upon them. Something like 31-14. I know it’s still too early.
